Location

Classes are held 40% online and 60% in person. Relay is still finalizing their "in person" space this year as they work with local schools to host classes. The map below shows the location of their home office.

Cost

$9,000 per year

The above cost represents your out-of-pocket yearly tuition pre-AmeriCorps award. If you are eligible for the AmeriCorps award you will be able to apply that towards your tuition to significantly reduce the out of pocket cost. For example: in 2016 corps members who received the AmeriCorps award paid, on average, $3,500 per year (once the award amount was applied).
